Performances: Sat 18th – Sun 19th September 1976, Prompt Corner
Contents
Introduction
three writers were commissioned to write a play each for Prompt Corner lasting between 30 mintues and one hour. Scripts had to be completed within four weeks.
The object was for the authors to write a play and have it performed - all to a deadline. Problems which arose in the course of rehearsals could be worked out with the actors and directors so helping them to a better understanding of the craft of playwriting.
It is basically a Writer's Workshop but no indulgence is expected of the audience on that account.
The Plays
- The Education of the Fifth Person
It is left to the individual imagination to decide if, in the pursit of one's ideal, the achievement warrants the search.
